As usual, the Faroe Islands have turned their waters red with blood as they butcher Pilot Whales. They even killed a pregnant whale. Tourists take selfies and children play in the carnage. The whole thing is brutal.
According to Sea Shepherd U.K. they have killed 536 whales so far this year.

We have talked about this before and they shouldn't harvest the meat because it isn't safe to eat. In particular children and pregnant women should not eat any of it.

So basically they butcher many whales every year on the pretense that it is part of their culture and their food supply.
It is not safe to eat and is even endangering children not born yet.
I have to say this, if your culture involves butchering helpless animals in a mass slaughter, maybe you should look for other forms of cultural expression.
There is no excuse for continued brutality as a cultural expression. It is time we all renounced such things. They make our whole species look bad.
